Hey everyone, the LinuxPicnic will be coming up this month. (Nitpickers
who insist that July's almost over and I'll need a time machine for that,
just send me a good URL for that time machine and I'll deeply consider
getting one. You can help me out with the ebay bid. :> )

Date: 11 August 2007 (the Saturday after LinuxWorld Expo up in SF)

Where: Sunnyvale Baylands (same as last year)
Really Where: Heading N on Lawrence, just after you get past
the highway entrance, the park's on the right.
Inside the gate, you'll want to turn to the right
and follow things around to the "Indian Grass Circle"
side of the park. If you arrive late expect hectic
parking.

Picnic toys. Big grassy area to run around in.
Food. Decent water. Other drinkables.
Who: open sourcerors of all shape and variety. Mostly bilateral bipeds.
Mostly linux folk (but Haiku-OS and other projects are expecting to
show up too). You :)

Special notes: If you bring tarpstands, no sharp objects, no stakes.
The Baylands doesn't want metal left behind to bother
the grass after we're gone, and they have a policy
against injuring the local plants.
There's lots of seating and a few pavilions but it's
never enough; if you *neeeeed* seating, bring a comfy
folding chair - or 3.

Repeat: if you don't have the ability to restore your
skin from a morning backup - bring sunblock!

If you and lobsters share colors in common, bring
Sunblock 2000 in designer shades. And wear your
designer shades.

Some of you may recall that Duncan MacKinnon came and visited our meeting
a few months back. I've got a bunch of his raw notes and plans on making
things happen. If any among you want to help out with anything specific
(rather than merely show up when you want and help out if you like) I'll
be at the meeting tomorrow, and you can catch me during the chat & snack
time or afterwards at the 'job corner'. Or phone me.
